Former high school teacher, still teaches like one. Lectures are interesting but I'm not doing too well in her class, and I'm a straight A student! You have to study A LOT to get a good grade on the tests, and I guess I don't have time for it this semester. She's hella cute and nice but this class is just over my head.
she is a very helpful teacher willing to help students. test not that easy but if you study, do the labs and go to class u should be ok. she is willing to help so don't give up. great notes but the 1st test is the hardest so STUDY. no hw except study guides & some take home articles very interesting & easy.
Fabulous prof! Nice, approachable and helpful. I had no interest in biology, but she made it interesting and related it to real life. Bases her tests almost solely on her lectures so attendance is important, but her lectures aren't boring. You don't really have to buy the book. You have to study, but it's worth it. Would definitely take her again.
EXCELLENT******teacher. I hate biology, but her lectures are so interesting and so helpful that I actually learned a lot.
EXCELLENT! I LOVE MRS.FREEMAN!She will help you pass no matter what. Her tests are not hard at all because all the material are in the notes and she gives out a study guide.
Excellent Professor! Wonderful Lectures! Right on her way to be a Gold Star!
This instructor used to teach high school and she brings with her that teaching style which is helpful in this subject because this keeps the lectures interesting even when the subject is boring. She is a hot teacher too which doesn't hurt for us guys who can get bored pretty fast.
Wow! What a great professor! Freeman is so pretty and that you'll even get a crush on her if you only meet her! I've never taken her before, but I would tell my friends to take her. GO NANCY FREEMAN! YOU'RE RIGHT ON YOUR WAY TO BE A GOLD SHOOTING STAR!
Freeman is a great teacher, her lectures are intersting and her style keeps your attention, there are only a few assignments and they are easy, weekly test on the lab stuff those can be a little difficult, over all I really did enjoy this class, take her if you can.
Professor Freeman is great. I am a political science student who only took her class to fulfill the AA requirements. She is very clear in her lectures, gives study guides for every test, and is really fun. I loved her class and would definitely recommend her.
She's a great teacher. It's a hard class, very much time consuming but if you put in the effort, you will pass. The labs are fun to do. She puts out study guide every week and the tests are based on those, no book needed.
Good lecturer, tests off notes, gives GREAT study guides, very attractive. Tests and quizes are easy. Very helpful.
This professor, Nancy Freeman is one of the best professors. Just to say that every time I see her, she always has a different look. Also to note, sometimes she tends to forget names, but it's not a big deal. I'm ok at reminding her my name every time she forgets. I definitely recommend her!
Very good teacher, wants you to do well. Has good/clear class notes and tests on the class notes.
Very very easy teacher, she post up study guides from each weeks lectures. Everything on the study guide is on the test. Labs are pretty easy, just make sure you do all the article analysis and study the study guides.
Wow! This is the best professor for Biology ever! She is very passionate of what she teaches and helps you get a better understanding of the materials if you don't understand. She'll maintain being a good professor as long as she keeps up her good work!
Very clear and effective teacher. She has taught every grade level, so she is extremely proficient in breaking down the complexity of Bio into understandible terms. Makes it easier for those who tend to struggle in the subject of science, such as myself. Highly recommend.
VERY helpful study guides. About 6 tests and 8 quizes. Drops the lowest score for each. Makes Biology interesting, very clear, very willing to help. Very fair, no surprises on tests or quizzes. Almost nobody dropped the class. She says the Bio book is optional, but lab book is mandatory. I took notes on lecture and never used the book. GREAT TEACHE
Shes hot!Besides that, she seems mean at first because the class is overenrolled. I guess too many ppl read this site.If you are not on the waitlist, she wont let u in. Her grading method is very fair.I liked the class, and the labs were fun. A lot of busy work though. You should expect 4 article reviews, 6 quizzes, 7 tests. It wasnt easy,nor hard.
I LOVED THIS CLASS! I was skeptical at first, because on the first day she was a bit cold, but as the semester went on, I loved her class. Don't miss class and study from her study guides and you'll be fine!
Take Ms. Freeman she is actually free................
I absolutely loved this class. I never got anything lower than an A on tests/quizzes because it's always straight out from notes! She's very nice and helpful!!
SHE IS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN BIOLOGY SHE WILL MAKE THE SUBJECT VERY INTERESTING AND FUN TO ATTEND. SHE IS NOT MEAN ABOUT ABSENCES BUT ITS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ATTEND EACH CLASS. THERE ARE 4 LECTURE EXAMS AND 2 LAB PRACTICALS, SHE DROPS THE LOWEST SCORE (ONLY 1 TEST). THERE ARE ALSO QUIZZES BUT THEY ARE VERY EASY.
If you are very interested in biology, you will find this class boring...but fun. It's boring because it's almost like a review of high school biology, but fun because of the labs and there are some things that high school bio didn't cover. But to be honest some of her test questions, even for the honors class, are a joke, like "What is this mole
SUPER HELPFUL. FRIENDLY. NICE. BUT SOMETIMES BORING MATERIAL. NOT HER FAULT. EASY ASSIGNMENTS AND QUIZZES AND TESTS. JUST STUDY STUDY GUIDES AND POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS BEFOREHAND. I SHOULD BE GETTING AN A I AM JUST BUSY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHE IS VERY GENEROUS AND REALLY CARES FOR HER STUDENTS. THANK YOU PROFESSOR FREEMAN!!!
I absolutely loved her. I was really scared to take biology because I heard it was really hard...but she made it so easy. she gives you study guides from every test and just study from your notes which will help you a lot w the tests. I got an A but i studied a lot. overall she is the best teacher i have ever had
She's good at creating interest in the subject and not making it boring. A lot of it is review from High School, but she adds in newsy things to keep it interesting. Fun class, highly recommended teacher.
I highly don't recommend this professor! her test are extremely hard and incomprehensible. what she has in her notes are NOT i repeat NOT related to her TEST! every little second she expects student to speak to the elbow partner for every little second.
Don't take her class, she is useless
This class was pretty easy. I went the entire semester without even opening the book. Just take notes, it's pretty much straight forward. Little homework, drops lowest score. Make sure you become friends with the people around you, they will be your lab group for the entire semester, makes the class more fun.
Whoever says she isnt anything but wonderful is CRAZY! This teacher is the bomb! She makes class interesting and fun. Lectures are so well prepared and all her notes are from slides and easy to take. She is super friendly and she does grade on the curve. She gives almost no homework and I never ever bought the textbook (only lab manual). Take her!
I loved this class! She is such a wonderful teacher - always positive and helpful! The lectures are interesting, the notes easy to follow, and she gives study guides. I especially liked how she applied ideas to concepts we are already familiar with. She has taught different age groups and wants you to learn and succeed! Take her class!! :)
Prof Freeman was an AWESOME professor! she doesnt talk down to her students, she's very helpful. her tests are passable if you do the study guide. her labs were fun. MINIMAL hw, & by minimal, i mean 3 for the whole semester. lectures off powerpoint. drops lowest test. 2 take-home articles, 3 lab tests, 4 section tests & an optional final! TAKE HER!
Took her for Biology 10 honors. I LOVED this class!! Her lectures are crystal clear and she explains things so well. No surprises on the tests. Just do the study guide and you'll do fine. She has a great sense of humor and is easy-going. I highly recommend Nancy Freeman if you're going to take Biology 10.
Awww Ms.Freeman is awesome! I hated Biology, I failed it in high school.I took her Biology 10 Honors course and it was awesome. I have a new love of science because of her. Her lectures are so awesome and clear, and her study guides easy to follow. Never opened the book once, just studied my notes and labs and got an A!
You will not find a better instructor than Nancy Freeman. She is laid back, great sense of humor, environmentally, socially and politically conscious, fairly attractive, and will do everything possible to make sure you understand the material. She makes learning biology fun. Lab assignments are done in groups. Lab manual is required but unless you're a bio major, the text book is a total waste of money. Passing her class is a breeze she makes you want to pay attention because of her enthusiasm.

she's awesome. I took her Honor Transfer class so we had a little more extra work but it was still relatively easy. If you do well on the first three exams, you do not need to take her final, which is great because you get to focus on your other classes! (:
Great Teacher. 1st test is hard. May give xtra cred. 2 Exp. Design Labs. 5 test, drops 1 w/ the lowest score. Need @ least 640 points to get a solid B. Anything below that is a C. Try 2 do well on the 1st 4 exams. Use notes, study guide is useless.
Study ur notes well. Ull b tested on the lab work. Some computer hw. The ?'s she puts on the board/powerpoint r usually the ?'s she asks on the lecture exam for the essay portion. 1st test is the hardest,
Her lectures are crystal clear. As long as you attend class you will understand the material. Her tests could be a little challenging, but if you do a bit of studying you should be fine. Honestly, if you pay attention to her lectures and take good notes (powerpoint), you can do well on her tests.
Amazing teacher! Amazing class! I've had little experience in science, but excelled in her class. Mrs. Freeman has a good sense of humor, plenty of enthusiasm, teaches exactly what is needed, is crystal clear and absolutely delightful! I recommend the class to all! Thanks, Mrs. Freeman!
EXCELLENT! Best professor at El Camino! Her lectures are so interesting. She always tells us WHY the information is important. She also talks about nutrition and is SO inspiring, helping us eat better. She encourages questions and LOVES her students and job. Always has a smile on her face! I seriously cried when the class was over.
Very caring professor. Knows her subject well and is devoted to it. Easy A ! As long as you study the lecture notes well! Take additional notes from the text! Make flash cards! You should be fine. She is a wonderful person.
Awesome teacher, and very helpful. She is willing to stay after class and help students. Study study study in order to pass her test.
took her for my last semester at ECC which was about a year ago. took bio10 to for IGETC . Shes not the easiest teacher, but A is very reachable. I hated science from middle school til now -- was my first and last life science class at elco, but it was better than i expected. easy B if you put decent effort, try hard for an A.
She's very great, and inspiring. You don't need to buy the book if you take great notes.
She is a wonderful teacher, and makes the subject something that we can relate to in our world.
She's a great teacher. She always answers any questions and always responds to any comments nicely. She gives students the resources to make sure they are prepared for any exam.
Professor Freeman is one of my favorite professors at El Camino. She is extremely helpful and she makes the class fun! I ended up truly enjoying the class which I didn't think would be possible! She uses power points and makes the topics interesting! Best biology teacher hands down!
Very easy class alot of extra credit opportunities. Test require you to apply concepts but ar relatively easy if you study and pay attentions if you are going to take anyone for biology I would recommend this teacher, she is fun, easy, and also helps you understand the material. Perfect teacher for those who do not like bio struggle in it (easy C)
She is challenging but wonderful. Don't expect a free ride in her class, but if you study hard you will do well. She is extremely approachable and helpful and her classes are fun.
she is alright. Very boring class and she strays off topic a lot. Sometimes she is super nice and sometimes super mean... depends on the day
Professor Freeman is excellent. Every class period, she is prepared so you should be as well. The material is not too difficult, but the first exam WILL be the most challenging so study hard for that one! I finished out with an A. If you do good the whole semester and are satisfied with your grade, you don't have to take the final.
Great professor. Take good notes and u don't need the textbook. She really cares about her students and offers bonus points if u attend her class every time.
Professor Freeman is amazing! She makes the subject really fun and provides examples that are very engaging and helpful. I would take her for any subject with a heart beat.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING professor. one of my favs! she does everything to try to keep u interested and gives real life examples which makes it so hard not to pay attention. her lectures are full of info and so interesting. i LOVE this teacher, would take her again if i could. her class is fun and i don't even like bio!
It's easy but not an easy A. Go to class cause you'll need the notes. Do the labs to do well in on the exams. No textbook use but need online code for homework. She's drops a lecture exam so try to do well on the first four so you don't have to take the final.
I took her online class. No textbook needed aside from the code. All you need to do is come to class and take notes. She drops the lowest test grade, so try to do well on the first four so you don't have to take the final. She's really nice and makes jokes sometimes. The lab tests can be confusing, but I ended up with an A and did poorly on them.
One of my favorite profs of all time. Super helpful. Each test has an in class essay in addition. Study the material but no need to buy the book. Difficult concepts but she really wants students to be successful. TAKE HER!
1. Don't necessarily use the text but it is helpful if you miss classes or don't watch the videos. 2. Have to watch assigned vids before class. 3. 4 tests( drops lowest test score if you take the final) 4. Funny, easygoing teacher 5. DO THE STUDY GUIDES! And take clear, concise notes. Don't be lazy
Great teacher, lectures are posted online on TopHat, tests were pretty easy (but I studied), lab tests are a little tricky but if you study no problem, she won't make you take final if you feel like you got the grade that you wanted on all of the other tests (4)!
Professor Freeman is extremely passionate about biology and is exceptional at explaining the concepts. Her lecture tests are easy (do good on first four and you don't have to take the final) and her lab tests are straight from the information in the lab book. I didn't care for biology until this class and now I find it fascinating.
1. Tons of extra credits 2. Tests are quite straightforward but need to study to some extent 3. A caring and warm-hearted professor 4. Time-consuming assignments I bet that she is the best professor for Bio 10 in El Camino
Freeman is a PROFESSIONAL. She knows what she's doing and she will teach you. Book not needed in my opinion. Most of the class are lectures and labs so it is CRITICAL to do the study guide since the test will be whatever's on there. She's really nice, straightforward and genuine and not to mention, HOT for her age... holy snikes.. total m i l f
She's always willing to help students and is always very reasonable with grades. I've learnt a lot from her in this class and would want to take her class again if I majored in Biology. Take her!
First of all she gives a ton of extra credit, which helped me get an A in the class. Her lectures are long but she does a good job at keeping your attention. Her homework is easy and straight forward.
Freeman was an amazing professor. Took her Bio 10 Honors over summer, so the pace was fast but very doable because of her impeccable lectures. She gives 4 Lecture exams based on the lecture notes, drops the lowest one, 3 Lab exams which are all based on the lab book, and some other assignments. Tests are all multiple choice.
Prof Freeman is absolutely great! I took her honors class over the summer and it was incredibly easy. I've taken chem classes and have a background in bio so I just breezed through it, but even those who don't have any experience with bio should have a great time with the easy labs, fun lectures, and wonderful professor! Lowest lab exam is dropped!
She is a great teacher! I took this class during the summer so it was very fast pace. Her class is not particularly easy, so basically you need to earn your grade. She is very good at giving assignments and tests back so you always know what your current grade is. You don't necessarily need the textbook, but you definitely need the lab book.
Honestly hated Biology before this class. There is so much to cover in this class, but she is such a good professor. Gives extra credit, homework is just to read articles, labs could be more exciting but they're easy, exams require studying, final only helps you. She's great and shows passion.
I loved Professor Freeman! I will truly miss her! She was an amazing professor. Her lectures and notes were clear . Just follow her study guide and notes. She gives 4 exams. If you're statisfied with all of them then you don't have to take the final. Gives articles for homework, but it's to help your grade. Also, she gives extra credit.
Professor Freeman is amazing. I wish I could take her again. To be able to get A in the lab and lecture exams you have to know the material completely. All the exams are multiple choice but the answers are VERY similar. drop the lowest score. I ENJOYED HER CLASS SO MUCH. Awesome lectures, SHE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HER.
the prof. is very helpful & patient she's easy to approach. it was a lot of work and the labs were usually in groups of 4. study for your exams don't leave it last minute it is a lot of material!
Professor Freeman is fantastic! She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She gives a few homework assignments throughout the semester, but nothing super hard, a couple of quick reading assignments with questions to answer after. If you're looking for a bio professor look no further!
She explained the lectures very well, make sure you are the first to register for her class, since her class fill up quickly. No Textbook required, since her materials on PowerPoint.
Professor Freeman is honestly so chill and understanding, personally I'm not much of a science person but this class literally makes you interested in bio, you begin to retain information like second nature because she is straight to the point and makes sure to set you up to pass. That being said, do the quizzes and make sure to study.
Prof. Freeman is very sweet! She understands that Biology itself can be hard to non science majors and she really teaches to help students. I recommend taking this class with her in the summer/winter by itself allow time to study even in study groups bc if you study in this class you are more likely getting an A. Little work big rewards!
Take her class- you won't regret.
Mrs. Freeman is a great professor but Bio 10 is no joke. She presents the material in a way that makes it easy to understand but you have to study. She gives 4 lecture exams (you can drop lowest score, or not take final), 2 lab exams and a final. Online quizes throughout the semester and some assignments. Be ready to learn a lot!
Skip final, extra credit, easy exams, no textbook
The first test was the hardest, so she gave everyone a chance to redo the test as a group with all our notes for extra credit. You better choose to sit with a group of four in the beginning of the course since all extra credit are in groups (I missed one so idk about it). The material is hard but the tests get easier each time. Lab tests are easy.
She is an amazing professor who really knows her stuff! Make sure to take not during her lectures because she does say somethings that aren't on her powerpoints. She has a total of 4 Lecture Exams, which make up the bulk of your points for the course. Also she drops your lowest grade so if you do well on the 4 lecture exams, the "Final" is optional
Prof Freeman is one of the best professors I've had so far. Took the class over winter so it was very fast paced. Make flashcards based on study guides and the tests will be easy. 4 exams (lowest score dropped--including final) and 2 lab exams. Study and pay attention and you'll get an A! Would def take her again.
She is really nice and caring and knows the subject really well! She made the subject really interesting. Take good notes. The test are ok,don't be late! The reason I got a C is because I'm bad at biology.
Caring teacher! Her tests are not too hard just read the powerpoint multiple times and pay attention to lectures. For lab exams you must participate in lab so dont be skipping class. There are some things in the lab that she talks about that will be on the test so pay attention.
I took Professor Freeman's Biology 10H class for summer session and loved it. She is an AMAZING Professor who KNOWS HOW TO TEACH. She teaches via powerpoints and makes them available online, and always makes sure every person in the class understands! Lowest exam dropped, quizzes online, and 4 exam fir every unit + a cumulative final. TAKE HER!!
LOVE HER!! She is seriously the nicest prof ever and seriously cares for all of her students. Took this in the winter so it was fast paced but it was 100% doable. 4 straightforward tests, final is optional and hw is super easy. AND we got to go on a class field trip for extra credit. TAKE HER!
I took Professor Freeman's hybrid class during the spring. She has to be not only the best bio professor but easily one of the best professors at El Camino. Her PowerPoint slides help you to a point where you do not need to buy the textbook. Exams are straightforward as it gets and she provides lots of EC throughout the course. Take her!!!
Taker her! You won't regret. I took her during Summer, Zoom meeting from Mon-Thur. If there is an exam there is no zoom meeting. Be sure to take notes during her class, her powerpoints cover her exams and make sure you do the work for the study guides, ASK! if you don't understand. She is very nice and makes sure everyone understands it.
Professor Freeman is amazing! She really cares about her students and goes out of her way to make sure you understand the material. She also has really detailed power-points and lectures which make exams fair game.
This professor is so good at explaining, her assignments are clear and easy to understand. The labs were interesting and fun with lab book barely being used. Take good notes and you will pass the class.
